A quaint cafe in a small town in Northland Aotearoa NZ. It has survived & thrived through COVID. Such a powerful testimony to the quality of service, fare & enterprise of the tuahine sisters who own and operate Cafe Mallahi. The rear car park backs onto the Kaikohe library and the auto workshop. I’m waiting a vehicle service. that is servicing my vehicle. A narrow fernery & rustic sculptures line the southwest facing wall. Although overcast, muted sunlight is bathing the fernery & seating areas. I made my way through a narrow hallway to the counter, and was greeted with a pleasant “Kia ora” to wish one well by 2 of 3 sisters, and a kaimahi employee as I passed by. The hallway is lined with postcard pictures that celebrate the beautiful places and heritage of Te Taitoketau Far North. The menu is simple and a tempting bounty of homemade savouries, cakes & biscuits are on display. I ordered the special. Seafood chowder and paraoa parae fried dumpling bread and a large flat white. The chowder is beautifully seasoned with a light creamy consistency, sliced kutae muscles, crab meat, & slightly sweet flavour on the top of my toungue. The paraoa does not soo up the chowder, but can be used to scoop the remnants of the bowl. It’s a really good portion. Not too much or heavy, but a portion to hold the cool breeze at bay made even more reka sweet by the light banter and laughter coming from the kitchen. I’m not one for nostalgia, but I felt welcome and at home, and am having pangs of remorse. I’m heading back overseas soon and an only hope that this beautiful cafe remains tuu toonu firm and upright when I return. A humble cafe in the hands of exceptional wahine toa women of substance Parking: Is on Main Street Broadway. More parking to the rear next to library. Wheelchair accessibility: Mobility parking to rear next to library and public toilets. Easy access. For front of house, take Main Street access, but mobility park is almost 100 m up the road.
Bought eggs Benedict for $18. Really small portion, plate came with a big chip out of it. Coffee expensive for the size.Food: 3/5
